Question

Why do women have the tendency of getting upset easily...?

Answer 1

You knew it was coming, so I'll do the honors of stating the obvious that this question is completely sexist. For it to be taken for granted that women get upset easily, then "easily" is compared to some standard. What is that standard? Men? Why are men the standard for humanity? There are more women in the world than there are men. The question could be posed as, "why do men bury/suppress,hide, disconnect from their very existent emotions?" In this case as in the case with the original, sexist question, my answer would not be that the differences are somehow innate: hormones, or that women are "emotional" as apposed to men being rational, or that we are weak. It would be that both genders are socialized to be what they are. Men are socialized to fight wars and thus learn at an early age to fight, build physical strength, and bury their emotions. They are taught that their value lies in wealth and power and with those things comes the prize of women (thus making women objects to be obtained). Women are still taught self-hate at an early age (in other words, that men decide our value and we are worthless without them... miss america, etc) and socialized for the non-profit making work in society, such as child-rearing and housekeeping, for the purposes of subjugation. Both genders are taught that we are the complete opposite, a dichotomy (i.e. rational vs. emotional), of each other. The comment someone made that we are fragile shows how both genders are taught not only that to be emotional is weak, but that to be emotional is female, thus female = emotional = weak. Emotions are not weakness, they are human. Deal with it and acknowledge that women are socialized to be the way they are. If you don't like it, then shoot for change in institutionalized patriarchal sexism. Realize that we have more in common with each other than differences and that those differences serve only limited bioligical functions. Also be aware that women have been oppressed for thousands of years. It will take a long time for the results of the long, hard-fought freedoms some women do have to begin to manifest themselves in seemingly naturally-occurring behaviors. You could try putting yourself in the other's shoes. If your entire value was based in a woman's love or approval, then wouldn't the things they said to you have a lot larger of an impact? Think about it.

Answer 22

Because they are wired to have short temper!  They want sympathy from men when it suits them but are quite happy to stab him when they are fed up of him!  That is what a woman is!

Answer 23

coz they are women

Answer 24

I guess because we are softer hearted. More emotional. Sometimes it can be a bad thing, but think of it like this, if we as women were not more emotionally attached then who would nurture the young and also the rest of the family. I think women also 'feel' and 'understand' better others' emotions. It's a gift that men do not have. You're just programmed differently.
